Hi Maggie...To help us to get the most out of your photo could you rescan it at a resolution of 300dpi to bring out the detail...this is scanned at a very low 72 Dpi...There is a tutorial at the top of the board.

Hi Maggie...It is now 300dpi so well done on that...but you needed to say it to best quality with no compression.

Hi Maggie

Just trying to help but need to know how you scan. On your first post you said that you hadn't got the photo to rescan. For your second image, did you re-scan a copy of the image or did you just change the dpi of the file  to 300?
